Free Offer of the Gospel

edit

The phrase "Free Offer of the Gospel" was definitely NOT introduced by John Murray! A search of Google Books will show you the exact same phrase used in Thomas Boston's "Human Nature in Its Fourfold State" (first published in 1720) and is related to the phrase in the answer to Question 31 of the Shorter Catechism "Effectual calling is the work of God’s Spirit, whereby, convincing us of our sin and misery, enlightening our minds in the knowledge of Christ, and renewing our wills, he doth persuade and enable us to embrace Jesus Christ, freely offered to us in the gospel." --PeterR (talk) 21:28, 27 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
